What batts are available in ego fitting but a little fatter?

[richieh]

Due to having biggish hands (9in span ) I'd rather like a battery with a fatter profile than the standard ego but with a 510 fitting at a sensible price- anybody recommend something to suit?

www.scan.co.uk/products/ego-v-v2-mega-full-kit-ego-v-battery-variable-voltage-3-6v-led-display-with-direct-usb-passthrough-i < I am currently using this with a Smok pyrex DCT. It has both 510 and ego threading and has the bonus of being variable voltage. In terms of size it is about 1.3 times bigger than a 900 mah ego battery both in height and width so should fit comfortably into your hand =) Also this is very frequently featured in the today only deals section of scan's website meaning you can knock a few quid off the price.

Do you know the Joyetech 18650 tube?

www.vaporkings.com/JoyeTech-18650-powered-eGo-T-Genuine-JoyeTech-p/ego-18650-mod.htm

It is a super-fat tube that holds an 18650 battery. It works at either 3.3v or unregulated power (so starts at maybe 4.0v).
You'd need the tube, the head and a battery....but it could be a good long-term battery.

I have one.

Otherwise, unless you go the real "mod" route, maybe a 1300mAh Vision Spinner.

That's the kind of size I'm looking for cheers- it's to use as a possible backup/ work device with my protank 2
Unless I get another MVP .

Have you had a look at the Ego RS?


Have fun

[djs]

Interesting.

(The eGo - RS).

Could be worth some research.

OK, so if you want to use a Protank 2, then the version I have is a bad shape. It has a pyramid cone head, so full-sized tanks look a bit daft.
Maybe you can you the Joyetech "easy head" with it.

Actually, what am I saying.

Why not get an eVic tube set, an "easy head" and battery. Trouble is....it's all getting expensive for a back-up.

Back to the drawing board...

[richieh]

Forgot to add really after variable volts too- just testing the protank 2 on the MVP with apple pie and custard and pretty impressed so far- just needs the draw tightening up a gnats-nothing some PTFE tape won't fix
Perhaps another MVP is the answer

Gosh. So many possibilities.

What about a bargain lavatube? They come up sometimes. I have the mini (18350) one which was my workhorse before the eVic.

[richieh]

Just tested with a little PTFE tape on mvp looks ugly but now perfect draw using 3.7 volts .
I hate it when I answer my own question.
Assuming I can get a few quid for the iclear 30 that it comes with are there any other options that come close in terms of price? 40 quid or thereabouts.
Otherwise another MVP it is I suppose
Cheers Richie

Maybe just go for the Spinner?

If you like the E-Vic, then something similar is the SID.......the head is the same as the E-Vic, but with a Z-Max type read out..........it's cheaper than the E-Vic & the tubes are interchangeable with both. I bought one at Vapefest yesterday & it's a nice bit of kit.

Fat Batteries?


Just find the odd one or two that over eat.


Jag. (My batteries are getting thinner .................)

richieh - there's another itaste going in the classies.

I want to like them, but I'm jealous that they're simpler than my vmax. no battery faff.
